When One Battles... | Daniel Dojo

[Daniel Munny]

Daniel and Tarragon were hitting up the Dojo for some training time. It was their first time at the Dojo, and Daniel couldn't help but look around in awe at the huge building. It was made of many training rooms with many different pokemon type themes and such. It was amazing. Daniel requested a Grass Training Room and they entered the one the nice lady at the front led them to.

It was full of vines and trees and bushes for them to use in their training, and Daniel looked at Tarragon with a manic look in his eyes. "It's time for you to learn how to dodge attacks!" Daniel said excitedly.

"And how are we going to do that, you gonna throw tennis balls at me?" Tarragon said sarcastically.

"No, first, we're going to make you fast! We're going to have you run until you can't run any more!  I'll even run with you!" Daniel said, cackling.

"Oh boy," Tarragon grumbled, but listened to his trainer, as they began running a course around the room. Tarragon was easily tired, and they had to take many breaks, but he was getting better as they kept running, and Tarragon knew he would get longer legs eventually.

It was that time of week again, time to go to the Dojo. Daniel was enthusiastic, but Tarragon just remembered all the running they had to do and was not looking forward to more. But it was all in the chance of becoming stronger, so Tarragon would do it, even if he didn't like it.

They arrived at the Dojo and entered the main room, where a track was set up, black paint on the floor marking the track. Daniel and Tarragon began running around the track, setting a steady pace that wasn't too hard to keep going. At least Tarragon had some stamina this time around, but it was still a difficult thing to keep up with Daniel.

The two kept up the running and eventually they got tired and they took a short break, Danny drinking from his water bottle and Tarragon from the water fountain set up for smaller pokemon. "Well, hopefully this is productive, eventually we'll move to you actually dodging attacks," Danny said after gulping down half his bottle of water in one swig.

"Yeah, I'd say its productive. I've gotten faster, a little bit, since we started this running stuff," Tarragon replied, gulping down some more water from the fountain and panting in between gulps.

Danny and Tarragon were back at the Dojo again. It was time for the weekly training session between the two of them. "Perhaps we'll start dodging now that we have Hasira," Danny announced. The Fletchling in question was currently in her pokeball.

"Yeah, I can dodge her Quick Attacks!" Tarragon agreed, and Danny got Hasira's pokeball out. He released her, and she emerged from the beam of light, looking around and blinking from the sudden onslaught of light into her eyes.

"What's that you need, Daniel? I can fight if you need me to!" She announced, hopping from one foot to the other.

"Well, I need you to practice with Tarragon to see if he can dodge your Quick Attacks!" Danny said excitedly. "I'm trying to teach him to dodge!"

"That's easy. Be prepared to be attacked, grass-mon!" Hasira darted towards Tarragon, and he tried to side-step her, but he was a bit too slow, and she slammed into him, toppling the two Pokémon.

"OK, OK, try again," Danny announced.

And so it went. Hasira would attack Tarragon, and he would try to dodge the attacks. He got faster as the time went on, and started dodging more and more, which was good.

Danny brought Tarragon to the Dojo for some more training this week. "Come on, we're going to practice running again, Tarragon," Danny said enthusiastically as he set a brutal pace for him and his Turtwig to run.

<Man, do we have to,> Tarragon complained. He was looking at Danny as if Danny had told him to eat garbage or something similarly disgusting.

"Yes, this is important; the faster you can run, the more likely you can dodge attacks, which is what we want in battles, right?" Danny raised his eyebrows at his starter.

<Right,> Tarragon grumbled, and followed after Danny in a reluctant fast pace. <You know I'm only going to get slower as I evolve, right?>

"All the more reason to practice now," Danny said cheerfully. He began to run around the track, leading Tarragon in a steady pace, that wasn't too fast, but it wasn't slow. 

<Ugh, finnnnnne,> Tarragon grumbled, and followed Danny until he was panting and dripping with sweat from all the exertion.

After all the running, Danny led Tarragon over to a water fountain, where they both drank deeply, gulping down the water as if it were live-saving, which perhaps it was. Tarragon sighed deeply and let out a loud burp once he was done drinking. <Ahhh, that hit the spot!> He declared.

It was that time again. But this time, Danny wasn't focused on training his starter. No, no, he was focused on one of his newer pokemon: a shiny poliwag by the name of Dusk. As Dusk waddled at Danny's side, the dusknoir gijinka was thinking about how he wanted to train the water type. It was awkward, to say the least, because while Dusk had a prettty new color palatte because of his shiny genes, he also suffered an allergy to his own element because of them.

Dusk was unable to come into contact with water without breaking out into hives, which was very inconvenient, despite the water type's other ability to heal upon being attacked by his element. It was a weird juxtaposition, to say the least.

"So, Dusk... I think it would be prudent of us to avoid water types against you for now," Danny began. "But that doesn't mean we can't practice your accuracy and power behind your current moveset," he continued.

Dusk cocked his head to the side. <I mean, if you say so, Danny,> The water type burbled.

The two of them proceeded into a training room, where several moving targets were set up on a track, with a little remote control in Danny's hand, to control the speed of the targets.

"Alright, I want you to try to hit the targets, while I randomize how fast or slow they are going," Danny said.

Dusk nodded, and as Danny set the targets to begin to move, Dusk prepared himself. Then, he let loose a stream of bubbles at one of the faster-moving targets, hitting it almost dead-center, and toppling it from the row.

He continued in this manner, blasting down the targets as Danny sped them up. Soon, Dusk was sweating and panting from exertion. Danny looked up and smiled. "You've hit nearly every target, and bulls-eyed at least three!" he gushed. "Congratulations Dusk!" He was so proud of the little water 'mon.
